Availability of Rest Facilities or Break Areas for Non-teaching Staff in Schools

Assoc Prof Jamus Jerome Lim asked the Minister for Education whether there are mandated rest facilities or break areas for non-teaching staff at schools and which are not within the discretion of the school administration.

Mr Lawrence Wong: Non-teaching staff at schools have rest areas such as the staff lounge and dedicated rooms. For outsourced workers such as cleaners, there are dedicated rest facilities as recommended under the Tripartite Advisory on Provision of Rest Areas for Outsourced Workers.
